I don't find reading properly indented Lisp any harder than reading properly indented Python. I agree however with respect to having the tooling help with balancing delimiters, although I let the editor do that job instead of the parser. And that's one of the major advantages of Lisp. Structural editing is considerably easier to implement. Parinfer[1] for example is really cool. I have to say I'm really excited about tree-sitter allowing similar structural editing for harder to parse languages.
